A drop-down terminal is very useful to have access to a terminal quickly and easily, especially if you are a person who uses a terminal frequently. There are several applications that have a drop-down feature but did you know that XFCE terminal supports the drop-down mode?
First, open a new terminal window from the main menu and start the XFCE terminal in the drop-down mode from the terminal.
xfce4-terminal --drop-down
Then create a shortcut , open the system settings and go to the Keyboard section.
In the Application shortcuts tab, you can add a new one by clicking on the add button.
In the shortcut command type xfce4-terminal --drop-down and click on the OK button.
After that, you need to press the shortcut key you want to link to the drop-down terminal. I use the F12 key.
You can also open different tabs in this drop-down terminal by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T.
